Flooding Models For The Netherlands

The University of Gronigen has released an interactive map which shows which areas of Friesland are vulnerable to tempest H2O flooding. The Wolk Viewer map models how pelting H2O flows through the streets later a heavy pelting storm. It simulates both the time period paths of the rainwater together with where standing H2O would accumulate. The map covers virtually of the Friesland surface area of the Netherlands.

The Wolk Viewer faux flooding model is based on 60mm of atmospheric precipitation an hour. The model is intended exclusively for the analysis of flooding inwards built-up areas, which way the model exclusively provides a reliable painting exhibit inwards urban areas. The map has 2 buttons which let y'all to persuasion the time period paths together with standing H2O separately on the map or to persuasion both layers together.

The flooding model shown on the map is based on a WOLK model originally developed past times the Tauw engineering firm. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 WOLK (CLOUDS) model is a elementary flooding model which uses a digital elevation model to exhibit how H2O moves from higher levels to lower levels, piece filling upwards lower levels amongst water. It provides a reasonable conduct to which areas are vulnerable to flooding during a heavy pelting storm.
